I pulled into the shopping center 开车驶进一购物中心
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother看到一个小男孩正抱着母亲的双腿撒娇
Like ice cream melting they embraced 他们仅仅拥抱犹如融化的冰激凌
Years of bad decisions runnin' down her face 岁月的沧桑深深刻在她的脸颊
All mornin' I'd been thinkin' my life's so hard 整个早上我一直在想我的生活似苦不堪言.
And they wore everything they own, livin' in a car 而他们虽然生活拮据,居无定所,却其乐融融.
I wanted to tell him it would be ok 我本想告诉他们生活会好起来
But I just got in my suburban and I drove away 但我只是钻进我的越野车悄然驶开

Keep having this dream about my old man 多年来我一直做着关于老爷子的同样的梦
I'm 10 years old, and he's holding my hand 梦见我10岁的时候,他正牵着我的手
We're talkin' on the front porch watchin' the sun go down 一边坐在门廊里闲聊一边看着日落西山
But it was just a dream 但这只能是一个梦,
he was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around因为老爷子被工作所累,成天难打个照面
So many things I wanna say to him 纵然我有许多心事想对他说
But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talk to the wind 如今也只能在他的坟前放枝玫瑰,对着风唠叨

I'm sittin' here with my kids and my wife 如今我坐在妻儿身边
And everything that I hold dear in my life 他们是我生命中的最爱
We say grace and thank the Lord 感谢我主仁慈
Got so much to be thankful for 赐予我生命如此感动
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says 楼上正准备睡觉的小女儿对我说
"I haven't had my story yet." "我还没听故事呢"
---------
And everything weighin' on my mind disappears just like that 一瞬间我脑子里的思绪烟消云散
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says, 只因我的小心肝儿抬起头,对我说
"I Love You Dad" "我爱你,爸爸"

But I don't know why they say grown men don't cry 不懂为何他们说成人不哭
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry ,don't cry 不懂为何他们说成人不哭,不哭
